Venkat Sivaprakash

Management Consultant at Accenture

Has significantly improved document-driven workflows and reduced processing time across finance and HR functions

Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation. The product has matured considerably over time. We can create workflows that can call an API. We can include prompts in particular workflows for ChatGPT-related functions, connecting to an LLM and RAG to perform tasks. For document automation, modern features are available to train documents, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time. The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details. Automation Co-pilot takes notes and performs automated analysis. It can extract details from videos, summarize conversations, and provide detailed information. During calls, it identifies instructions and performs tasks such as preparing reports and reconciliation. Automation Anywhere can also connect with Microsoft Co-pilot. Through Co-pilot, real-time operations can be executed, allowing direct interaction between vendors and automation through this component.

Using Python in Robocorp enhances performance

In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area. Other products are charged based on the licenses. However, Robocorp is not doing it that way. They are charging based on a run basis. Therefore, in that way, the company might benefit in terms of license costs and the return on investment, considering what they are putting in and what they are getting out of it.

RPA Technical Solution Lead at Infomentum

Helps automate processes but needs to offer different licensing models to users

Right now, I am not working on process mining at the minute. Before I switched to the company, I worked extremely closely with the process mining tool from UiPath, SAP BTP, and the process mining that they had created. I am working with MuleSoft Automation and Anypoint. We are not doing any sort of process mining at the minute, but in my company, because MuleSoft is one of the only RPA tools that we are looking at, we have another application called Appian that we are trying to explore now. Appian has process mining capability, which is why we thought we would look at it along with AI capabilities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Scheduling helps to generate and send reports without any delay."

"By implementing processes using Automation Anywhere, we can save up to 3,000 euros within two weeks of development."

"There has been a great return on investment."

"We are using it for scripting, and it is end user based with screen captures. It is a bit easier to use than any of the other tools out there."

"When anybody talks about Robotic Process Automation, Automation Anywhere is the first thing that comes to my mind."

"It has helped us a lot with our digitized work, and we have automated a lot of the bank's processes."

"In terms of development for our developers, it is very easy and quick to learn because Automation Anywhere has provided an online academy where developers can easily learn the features. It is very easy. If someone does not have a coding background, they can also learn from it very easily because it is just drag and drop and very interactive."

"In the finance department, this solution has saved us a lot of money."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."

"It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data."

"As a developer, I found it easy to integrate third-party applications with Robocorp. I have previous experience with Selenium, and I found the Robocorp framework to be accessible because it uses Python and Selenium keywords."

"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."

"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."

"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."

"The process execution and all features are very good."

"I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it."

More Robocorp pros

"The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need."

"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment."

"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."

More SAP Intelligent RPA pros

Cons

"I suggest increasing assistance from support personnel."

"Automation Anywhere is a tool. It is not able to go ahead and extract the hand-written documents. Most of the automation tools that we have in the market are not able to get an accuracy of close to 80 to 90 percent on hand-written documents. So, I'm eagerly looking at a release from Automation Anywhere, wherein they could plug in an LP or look at some sort of a platform which could convert hand-written documents into a readable format. If they could bring in they own platform, this would make a big in-roads for the entire automation industry."

"Version 11 is a bit heavy. At times, it takes a toll on the computing resources. It consumes a lot for computing power. We have seen multiple instances where computers or the client has crashed because of this particular problem. Automation Anywhere can improve this a lot."

"It is very difficult to create and automate timetables because they are modal, and it would be helpful if the bot could assist us with this."

"It would be great if they provide installation documents that are easier to understand, place more focus on capturing the fields, and most importantly, concentrate more on the OCR capability."

"I would like the ability to extract the code. You can go line by line, then open up each line of code and dig into the details, but it would be nice to extract all of the lines of code and all of the details into a document so we could read through everything. Right now, there is no way to really consume all of the code at once, except line by line, which can be fairly time consuming if we don't really know what we are looking for."

"As a developer or user, I feel that the performance of the overall package could be made a little better or reliable. For example, if I'm opening up a heavy Excel file, which is uploaded in some shared drive over the net, and I have my box coded to open that Excel to do some work or formatting on it, and depending on the network load and the size of the file, this client version while trying to access that file becomes unstable at times. It goes into the hang position until a human being comes in, ends the task, and restarts it. Until this happens, it does not respond."

"Right now, we are using a VM with Automation Anywhere installed inside it, but it would be nice if the solution could be used on macOS."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used."

"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."

"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."

"The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."

"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."

"The platform's documentation could be better."

"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."

More Robocorp cons

"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."

"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."

"The support is expensive."

"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."

"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."

"The tool's licensing has been kind of a challenge...At the moment, the tool does not offer different licensing models to users."

"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."

More SAP Intelligent RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."

"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."

"The pricing for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."

"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."

"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."

"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."

"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."

"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The product has good pricing."

"The solution is a very affordable price."

"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."

"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."

"The pricing is fine."

"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."

"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."

"It's a cost-effective solution."

"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."

"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."

"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."

"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."
